I agree.

Make no mistake, war is nasty business. War means hundreds, if not thousands of human beings die -- American and Iraqi soldiers as well as innocent men, women, and children. It means our friends and family members return from the Gulf in BODYBAGS, just as they did from Vietnam. War is not pretty and it should ALWAYS be considered a last resort.

And I think trees are for carving tikis, not hugging. I hate Phish, I think hippies smell bad, and I only eat granola if it's dipped in chocholate so save the tired cliches for calls to the Rush Limbaugh show.

What kills me the most about the majority of the chicken hawks screaming for war is that they don't follow through with action. They are quick to argue for military action and talk about supporting our military and our president, but God forbid they should actually change their lifestyle one bit to help their cause. Take a cue from the Americans at home during WWII who supported our troops by recycling, conserving energy, carpooling, etc., all for the war effort. How many of you people crying for war are driving around the corner to the store when you could ride a bike? How many of you are carting yourself around alone in a gas guzzling SUV? How many of you are running your heaters all day and night instead of wearing warm clothes in the house?

If you're going to support a war, then do it with your actions because words are meaningless, and do nothing for your cause.
